Beautiful scenery
We had a wonderful stay here. Having our morning coffee on the deck and watching the birds was such a treat. Darrell and Lana were excellent hosts and very accommodating to our requests. I hope to go back here again!

Amazing relaxing vacation!
My 14-year-old daughter and I took a long road trip to stay at this cottage. We stayed for two weeks in July, and it was probably the most relaxing trip I have ever taken. The cottage and the property are exactly as pictured in the listing. It was an amazing place just to relax or go out and explore, and we did a little bit of both. Each morning I drank coffee looking at the amazing view. We also brought a kayak with us, and since we were right on the lake, we were able to jump in day or night whenever we wanted. We went hiking, zip lining, visited the nearby hot springs, and spent a lot of time just relaxing. Lana and Darrell were very generous hosts. They made us feel incredibly welcome and provided us with everything we needed. Darrell even took the time to put air in my tire when I needed it. I can't say enough about what an amazing trip this was and how wonderful Lana and Darrell are! If you have the chance to stay here, you definitely should. We will definitely be back!

A Great Family Getaway
We are very pleased with our recent stay at the cottage! It's a very cozy little place with lots of outdoor space for our one and four year old kids to explore. The cottage is very well maintained and clean. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating. We were hoping we could avoid using the pull out couch with three adults and two small kids, we were pleasantly surprised to find that the larger bedroom was bigger than expected, we were able to fit a child's blow up mattress and a pack and play in the room with us. Unfortunately water levels were very high during our stay, which covered the beach on the cottage side, but Lana made sure we felt welcome to use the beach on the lakehouse side which was perfect for our kids. We were able to beach our boat and tie it to a tree instead of using the dock which worked perfect. Darrell made sure we always had wood available for campfires and Lana made sure the kids wouldn't be bored by providing great toys. We brought our fire stick which worked great with their wi-fi. This is a perfect spot for a small family, would definitely stay here again!
